Question:
Finally, Shaykh Salih, regarding cohesion, unity of ranks, and the unification of words. This country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is distinguished by these qualities, praise be to Allah. What is the impact of this cohesion, unity of ranks, and unification of words?
Answer:
This is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon people. Praise be to Allah. But most people do not give thanks. This cohesion among Muslims in every place, and especially in this country, is a blessing from Allah upon everyone. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] This is from cooperating in righteousness and piety. And Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: [Ali 'Imran 3:104-105] It is obligatory for Muslims to cooperate in righteousness and piety. And they should be one hand among themselves, and between themselves and their rulers, being one hand cooperating in righteousness and piety, and cooperating in what brings benefit to Islam and Muslims, and in carrying out the commands of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.

وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ(104) And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful. (105) And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment.
وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَاخْتَلَفُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ وَأُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
